A funeral service for nine Christians killed by gunmen in Jordan will be held on Sunday, at the same church where the attack took place. On Friday, assailants opened fire in the compound of the St George's Greek Orthodox church, in the village of Hamoud in Karak governorate, the country's Public Security Directorate directorate said. Jordan's King Abdullah II called it a "terrorist attack." Karak, about 100km south of Amman, is home to a Christian minority in the mainly Muslim kingdom.
